Pattern Description:
Sheath skirt and overstitched pleat.
Pattern Sizing:
44
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes it absolutely did. I choose to leave the buttons off.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Marfy come without instructions.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked everything but the buttons so I left them off.
Fabric Used:
Oscar De La Renta silk taffeta....so gorgeous!
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I would highly recommend this to anybody who likes something a little different and wanted to try a Marfy. This pattern was so easy to work with, the notations and grainlines are clearly marked and its a simple two piece pattern.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I loved it so much, I sewed this skirt as soon as I completed the Brocade version.
I would highly recommend this to anybody who likes something a little different and wanted to try a Marfy. This pattern was so easy to work with, the notations and grainlines are marked and its a two piece pattern.

Conclusion:
This was a great pattern, I love that its a little different and the fabric worked so well. Its a simple make and I would highly recommend. Addtitional pattern info and photos at www.achallengingsew.typepad.com thanks!

I saw skirts like this in Paris 2 years ago, worn by average people walking along the street during rush hour. This one is much prettier.
